A longtime Southern favorite, a variety developed in Richmond County, Georgia was commercially introduced during the Civil War, out of the Lawson Watermelon, probably pollinated by the Carolina Long. True Rattlesnake is indeed oblong, with light green skin with wavy stripes and a pronounced curling signature that’s a significant resemblance to the skin of a timber beetle, explaining the colorful name. The flesh is scarlet pink, the seeds dark brown.
